Details

(Whiteboard: DUPEME) 

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141127110442

Steps to reproduce:

Type 'tw' followed by pressing enter quickly.


Actual results:

Outcome 1 (sometimes):
Browser loads https://twitter.com
Outcome 2 (other times):
searches google for 'tw'


Expected results:

One or the other, but not both.

The google search happens much more often if I have just opened several new tabs.

This appears to be related to asynchronously loading suggestions; if the async load hasn't completed yet, the enter keypress can trigger first.

Huh, didn't know about that page, but I've updated it accordingly. Thanks!

Basically, I'm fairly sure we have a bug on file for this, but I couldn't find it quickly. Maybe Marco knows.
I think the current code in Nightly buffers the Enter until results arrive. please reopen if you can still reproduce.
